Title says it all. I am wondering if us Mesmerize users can safely use the new CWM that GizmoDroid posted in the following link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1017817
ETA: If no one has tried yet, is it possible that this could break anything that couldn't be fixed via ODIN? If not, I will volunteer to be the guinea pig.
I havent personally tried anything but I dont see why not

I used the zip package and it worked fine for me. Can't say for sure about odin but I would guess it's the same.

WRONG SECTION!!!
Here
Verizon S3 has a locked bootloader.
No root yet.
Any words or rumors from devs ? Really like the phone but no root might be a deal breaker for me

No problem. There's no way unless you flash a custom ROM that's as closed to stock as possible.

^ agreed! flash a custom stock rom in recovery such as beans or synergy...thats as close as you will get to stock without using odin.
Took me awhile to figure this out.
And what I found out is you have to flash one of the stock roms before the kernel or it won't work. You have to be unlocked of course. Flash any Rom in cwm then after it installs and your still in recovery flash the stock kernel. Here's a link to the kernel

Help I'm trying to root or add CM10 to my Verizon GS3 SCH-I535 but I don't have a computer is there a way
I don't know of a way to root without a pc. Casual and Odin both require a pc

I think you are out of luck if you are on a verizon device because they come with a locked bootloader. If it was for another carrier it is possible.

This MAY work on Verizon, but not ENTIRELY sure. The guy who made the thread did say it worked on Sprint and T-Mobile S3's. But this post is all that I know of that provides a rooting from phone method.

Mobile Odin requires you to already have root access to function, so unfortunately he couldn't use Mobile Odin to flash a rooted stock ROM in this case.

Thinking about swapping my Droid DNA for a Galaxy S3 and $50. My Droid is freshly unlocked, rooted and s-off all using my Mac 10.6.8 with ADB commands. The Droid is also factory unlocked for any GSM SIM including att and T-Mobile. My issue is I can't find a way to root and unlock the S3 so I'm on the fence about swapping and of course losing this amazing Quad core krait power. Advice?

Get the S3 and to root and unlock the bootrom, you must use the Casual Rootkit. It will root your S3 and install Teamwin recovery. Trust me, it is worth it.

Go look at the Casual Toolkit thread and look at the issue I'm having. I'm the last post on there. Unless I can fix the issue, I can't get the phone because I can't root it. :/

Do you have stock ROM or a different ROM?

Because my S3 on VZW is rooted fully and Unlocked.
My Droid is custom. I haven't traded for the S3 yet because I can't get casual to run on my mac. The casual thread has the errors its giving me.

So, just traded my 3 week old DNA for a BRAND NEW S3. I'm sure I lost money on the trade but I feel at home with the S3. Now on to my problem, rooting it with a Mac or Linux (run from a live CD). advice?

Is your Mac on 10.8? If so, using Casual from Beanstown106 will work. You'll need Java 7 installed for Casual to work. I almost encourage you to use the Casual 634 from the Verizon GSIII section on Rootzwiki instead of the Casual 734 linked in the dev section of XDA. There seems to be some issues with r734 recognizing the device is connected but it can work even so.
Alternatively, you can do the manual route using Open1your1eyes0 root thread in the dev section. It requires Odin which works great on Windows, is incompatible on Mac, and idk about Linux.

No, I have 10.6.8 but if you head over to the Casual thread, you can see my issue...I posted what my terminal was telling me about the error message when I try to run Casual.

I'm not sure you'll be getting Casual to work on your setup. Maybe try the manual method by Open1your1eyes0 or the toolkit by mskip. Like I said there, if these don't work then you might want to find a spare laptop when available and knock this out.
Can I use the Odin method with heimdall?

Cause I MIGHT be able to get heimdall working on my Mac....but I have never used heimdall in the past, I've always used Odin.

Its possible, but there is no documentation/thread that I know of that goes into detail for this device. Might have to look on the other carrier models for threads. Everyone always uses Odin.
Damn :/

Motochopper? Wasn't that for Motorola devices? Just asking general questions, what prompted you to try that?
Yes, you do need to be unlocked to flash roms. Are you positive you are rooted? Do you have working SU or SuperSU? If so, download EZ Unlock v1.2 from Rootwiki and press unlock.
Actually, I Google "root Verizon s3 4.1.2" and his exploit works on all american galaxy s3's
